Colour and Spacial as Method and Meaning
Colour and Space interlinked
Spacial theory - study of space and place
"Space and Place"
Places are generic
Social constructs
"Spatial turn" - not viewed as static
Colours can have, culture, science, psychology, physiology
Colour alters perception
Colour theory is in infancy
Computers - view 16 million colours
Humans - view 10 million colours
11 basic colour terms in English language
11 colour terms in the 98 languages
Theorists:
Aristotle - De Colouribus
Leon Battista Alberti - Della Pittura
Sir Issac Newton - The Colour Spectrum and treatise Optiks
Goethe - Theory Of Colours
Johannes Itan - The Elements of Colour and The Art Of Colour
Aristotle
White and Black
Light and Absence
Colours are derived from one of four elements: fire, air, earth and water
Leon Battista Alberti
Red - fire
Blue - air
Green - air
Grey - earth
Black and White are not colours
Sir Issac Newton
Colour Spectrum
Conducted Prism experiments
7 segments: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet
Other Theorists
Three main colours - Red, Blue and Yellow
End of 19th century - R,G,B - Red, Green, Blue
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black - CMYK
Modern Chromatics - 1879
Johannes Itan
Strategies of successful colour combinations
Contrast of Saturation, Light and Dark, Extension, Compliments, Simulation, Contract, Hie, Warm and Cool
Primary Colours - Red, Blue, Yellow
Secondary - Orange, Purple, Green
Tertiary - Primary + Secondary or Secondary + Secondary
Colour System - additive, subtractive
Additive synthesis - mixing of colours of light
Red Light, Green Light, Blue Light
Subtractive Synthesis - mixing colours of pigments
Blocking part of spectrum
Shade
Tone
Tint
Hue
Lightness
Saturation
Value
Aggressive - Yellow, Orange, Red
Passive - Green, Blue, Violet
Y + B = G
R + Y = O
R + B = V
M = C = P
Colour Wheel - 3 primary, 3 secondary, 6 territory
Some show inbetween colours
Colours set near and opposite each other
Green:
Appachi = South, Japan = Life, Eastern = Eternity
Black - Powerful, Mysterious
White - Purity
Red - Energy
Pink - Romantic
Orange - Cheerful
